.teenmd discusses the disparities that different racial groups face when it comes to medical treatment in reproductive health, particularly when it comes to AAPI women:
showed faculty from the American Association of Medical College’s Faculty Roster who identified as white were consistentlyin leadership and ranked lowest in leadership part parity among the ethnic groups studied.
Growing up as a Taiwanese American and Asian American—being the minority wherever you were—presented challenges, but luckily, I grew up in Northern California where we have a larger community. However, in my medical school class, probably only 10 out of 140 of us were AAPIs. When working at Harvard as a translator, I experienced similarly crazy situations. I would show up and they’d tell me, “We asked for the Spanish translator,” and I was like, “Yo hablo español.” And then in the ER, they’d ask, “Hey, do you speak an Asian language?” And I was like, “Not all Asian languages are the same.” There’s Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese and Thai, for example. One time, they said, “We have this woman who speaks this very rare Chinese dialect.
As a Taiwanese American, I absolutely benefited from people not checking what language you speak. But they would do crazy stuff like send us to Chinatown to ‘be with our people,’ because they thought we spoke the language.The overall health of American women has definitely improved over the past few decades, but not all women have benefited equally. Today, there remain large disparities in healthcare access and treatment for women in different racial and socioeconomic groups.
